Families of Kashmiri students studying in Iran are urging the Indian government to bring them home as the Israel-Iran conflict heats up.
About 1,300-1,500 students—mostly future doctors—are currently in cities like Tehran.
Tensions spiked after an attack near a university hostel left some injured, prompting worried families to share video appeals online asking for immediate action.
Iran a go-to for Kashmiri students
Iran has become a go-to for Kashmiri students thanks to affordable education and cultural connections.
Back home, families have protested in Srinagar about poor communication and tough living conditions their kids face abroad.
Leaders like Omar Abdullah have reached out to India's foreign minister, who has promised that student safety is being taken seriously.
Religious leaders and MPs have also joined calls for quick evacuation, hoping the government acts fast.
